Julian Sayin finds an ideal landing spot as contenders close out Round 1
No. 25 Cincinnati Bengals (2-0): Kelly Jones, CB, Mississippi State
The undefeated Bengals go cornerback with the selection of Kelly Jones at No. 25 overall.
The Bengals' defense has been ballin' early in the season. The addition of Jones will help them be more competitive in the secondary and give them a young corner with lockdown ability.
No. 26 Philadelphia Eagles (2-0): Carter Smith, OT, Indiana
With Lane Johnson in the final years of his NFL career, the Eagles find his successor in Indiana's Carter Smith.
Although he isn't getting the same attention as Trevor Goosby and Jordan Seaton, Smith is one of the top tackles in the class. The fact he's available at No. 26 should have the Eagles thrilled as they land a potential tackle of the future.
No. 27 Las Vegas Raiders (2-0): Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama
The Raiders' surprising 2-0 start may keep 2026 No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza on the bench throughout the season.
When his time comes, he'll have Ryan Coleman-Williams to get the ball to.
The Raiders' offense already looks promising with Ashton Jeanty at running back and Brock Bowers at tight end. Coleman-Williams gives them a player with the potential and talent to become the top wide receiver in the offense.
No. 28 San Francisco 49ers (2-0): Trevor Lauck, OT, Iowa
We like Trevor Lauck to the San Francisco 49ers here.
As an elite left tackle for Iowa, the 6-foot-5, 314-pound tackle is exactly what the 49ers need to protect Brock Purdy's blindside and eventually succeed Trent Williams once his Hall of Fame career comes to an end.
No. 29 Minnesota Vikings (2-0): Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State
The Vikings get in the quarterback game by making Julian Sayin a late first-round pick.
There will be debate as to whether the team should go with Trinidad Chambliss or Josh Hoover here, but Sayin could win over Kevin O'Connell.
He'll also have an elite wide receiver in Justin Jefferson to get the ball to, much like he currently has Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State.
No. 30 Buffalo Bills (2-0): KJ Bolden, S, Georgia
The Bills grab the top safety on the board with the selection of Georgia star KJ Bolden.
As a versatile defender who can also play inside the box against the run, Bolden gives the Bills a reliability at the position they haven't had since the days of Jordan Poyer.
No. 31 Kansas City Chiefs (2-0): Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana
With the top tight end options off the board, the Kansas City Chiefs go with the next-best target on offense.
That would be a big-bodied receiver who can be a playmaker down the field in Indiana's Nick Marsh.
At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Marsh gives Patrick Mahomes a vertical threat and an X-receiver who is fantastic at catching the ball along the sidelines.
No. 32 Seattle Seahawks (2-0): Jackson Bennee, S, Utah
Seattle adds to the defensive backfield by selecting Utah safety Jackson Bennee.
Due to injuries, the Seahawks are suddenly thin at the position with rookie safety Bud Clark done for the season.
While Clark will return and the team has Nick Emmanwori and Julian Love at the position, adding another safety like Bennee would address the depth issue while giving Seattle another player with starting potential.
